Vintage Motorcycles doing well in lagging economy

A sputtering stock market has investors putting their money into hard goods. People like to buy things they can touch, smell and enjoy. The rarest of vintage motorcycles have been fetching six figures at auction yet the market still remains more affordable than classic cars. In October 2008, a super-charged Vincent Black Shadow sold for $383,400. Compared to securities, it looks as if the old motorcycles are a solid investment. See the full story at Los Angeles Times.

1973 Munch custom roadster – Built up to a standard, not down to a price

Over the past seven years the Munch has been hand crafted by a small team of specialists in quantities of one or two units per week. The machine has reached a level of quality and performance unequalled in the industry. Now, in our new factory in West Germany production is being stepped-up, just enough to satisfy some of the demand.

The Munch is not the machine for every motorcyclist. It will never be built in larger quantities than 30 or 40 per month, due to the time and labor involved in fabricating a custom roadster of its quality and capability by hand.

The Munch is worth its high price by virtue of its performance and workmanship alone. It is sold and shipped only to individual clients directly from the factory in Altenstadt.
